Question 1 of 5

The postpartum client’s blood type is A negative, and her newborn infant’s blood type is AB negative. The client received RhoGAM in her second trimester and another dose in her third trimester, after a minor car accident. The client is preparing for discharge and asks the nurse when she will receive her RhoGAM injection. The nurse correctly responds with which statement?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The number of RhoGAM doses given in pregnancy does not affect whether or not the client receives a dose postpartum. Both the client and newborn are Rh negative; no dose is required. Rh immune globulin (RhoGAM) is administered to women with Rh negative blood types at approximately 28 weeks of gestation and again after any trauma, such as a car accident or fall. After delivery, RhoGAM is only indicated if the newborn has a positive blood type; both the client and newborn are Rh negative. For postpartum clients who require RhoGAM, the dose is given within 72 hours of delivery. However, no dose is necessary because the client and newborn are both Rh negative.
